Angry Wave E16

Coast Guard Rescue Team practices recovery dives near Redondo Beach, CA. Extremely high shutter speeds reveal the rotor details in mid-flight.

Captured this image when the Coast Guard made a special appearance at a South away lifeguard competition. I used a very fast shutter speed to freeze the helicopter blades and the rescue diver.
